CHICAGO, IL – Marquee Sports Network announced Wednesday, March 18, two major distribution agreements that will significantly expand access for Cubs fans ahead of the 2026 MLB season. 

Starting Wednesday, March 18, Marquee Sports Network will be available for Hulu + Live TV subscribers within the Cubs in-market footprint just in time for the Chicago Cubs’ home opener on March 26 at Wrigley Field against the Washington Nationals.  

In addition, Marquee’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) offering is now available as a subscription on Prime Video. The monthly subscription ($19.99) provides in-market fans with live access to Cubs games, pre- and postgame coverage, and Marquee’s full slate of programming. 

Marquee Sports Network, a joint venture between the Chicago Cubs and Sinclair, is the exclusive, award-winning home of the Chicago Cubs, delivering live game broadcasts, in-depth analysis, and year-round Cubs-focused programming.  

“We’re committed to delivering world-class game broadcasts to our fans through our linear channel and our direct-to-consumer product. By expanding our streaming distribution, we’re providing more ways than ever to follow the Cubs all season long,” said Crane Kenney, Cubs President of Business Operations.  

“These agreements represent meaningful momentum as we continue expanding distribution and providing greater flexibility for fans,” said Will Bell, SVP, Head of Distribution and Network Relations, Sinclair.  “With the addition of Hulu + Live TV and the launch on Prime Video, we are ensuring comprehensive access to Cubs coverage across both traditional streaming bundles and direct-to-consumer platforms in time for Opening Day.”
